SELECTED TREES, PLANTS, ETC, 
General List of Strawberries. 
BEDER WOOD. 
Beder Wood. A stocky, robust plant, that makes 
runners freely ; healthy and entirely free from rust or 
blight; has perfect bloom, and is an enormons bearer 
of large, round, perfectly formed berries ; light scarlet 
color, moderately firm ; good quality. 25 cents per 
dozen, 50 cents per 100, $3 per 1 ,000. 
BubacliNo. 5. (P.) One of the best. Quite large; 
plants very robust ; color dark green ; has never shown 
signs of rust or blight. We fruited it this season on 
four different soils, and see no difference ; it did well 
on all. We can recommend it for field culture, as well 
as for the garden ; it is one of the best paying varieties. 
25 cents per dozen, 50 cents per 100, $3.50 per 1,000. 
Crescent. (P.) Like the Concord grape, it seems 
to be in the lead with fruit-growers. Any one can grow 
the Crescent, for it will almost take care of itself after it 
is once put in the ground. It is very hardy and pro- 
lific, and should not be allowed to run to matted rows. 
25 cents per dozen, 50 cents per 100, $2.50 per 1,000. 
Cumberland Triumph. We cultivate this variety 
extensively for fruit, as it is one of the most salable ber- 
ries we have in our market. It is very large, not as 
bright in color as we would desire, but in past years it 
seemed to produce more fruit each season. 25 cents 
per dozen, 50 cents per 100, $2.50 per 1,000. 
Gandy’s Prize. Large and very late ; holds its 
fruit well from the ground. This is the best late berry 
we have growing, all points considered. Very firm, and 
when put on the market brings the highest market 
it is also valuable as a fertilizer to use with early 
varieties, making the latter end of the crop more per- 
fect. 25 cents per dozen, 50 cents per 100, $3 per 1 ,000. 
Haverland. (P.) A native of Ohio, but does not 
lose its reputation by going into other states. This is 
the most productive berry on the market to-day. Size 
large ; color light ; will not stand long shipments, but 
for near markets is one of the best. We cannot recom- 
mend the Haverland too highly, as it has good foliage, 
is a strong grower and fruits abundantly. 25 cents per 
dozen, 50 cents per 100, $2.50 per 1,000. 
Jessie. This has been before the people long enough 
to be known, and much has been claimed for it ; in fact, 
too much. While it is a good berry, there are others as 
good and better on our soil, but soil makes all the dif- 
ference in the berry. 25 cents per dozen, 50 cents per 
100, $3 per 1,000. 
Lovett's Early. A berry that can be highly recom- 
mended for loam or clay but not for sandy soil, and its 
name misrepresents it, as it is not an early variety, but 
mid-season ; very sour, but is a good shipper and very 
productive. Is a good staminate for fertilizing pistil- 
late varieties ; a good all-purpose berry ; color a bright 
crimson and firm, better for market than family use. 
25 cents per dozen, 50 cents per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Warfield No. 2. (P.) After fruiting the past sea- 
son with us, we were more pleased with Warfield than 
ever, so we cannot but give it its former place on the 
list. All things considered, it is one of the very best. 
Size large ; plant very productive. 25 cents per dozen, 
50 cents per 100, $2.50 per 1,000. 
Wilson Albany. Still in the lead of all standard 
varieties at Sunny Hill Fruit Farm. AVe shipped the 
plants to dealers 
allovertheUnited 
Stateslast season, 
and they unite in 
saying that they 
were the finest 
ever seen. 25 cts. 
per doz., 50c. per 
100, $3 per 1,000. 
Woolverton. 
This is one of the 
seedlings intro- 
duced by Friend 
John Little, of 
Canada ; is a vig- 
orous, healthy 
plant ; large and 
attractive berries; 
medium to late ; 
continues long in 
fruit ; good to pol- 
lenize other kinds.

The Strawberry delights in good, rich, moist soil, but will grow on any soil which is capable of raising good 
general crops. By planting early, medium and late varieties, the grower is supplied with fruit during the entire 
• t ,a The < "'so’il cannot be too well prepared ; the more work put on it, the less it will require in the future. 
As a fertilizer we recommend barn-yard manure above all others. Commercial fertilizers with us have never 
proved am ofiUtbic^nvestme, it ; hence, we pay more in proportion for the former than the latter The manure 
has the lasting qualities, where with the phosphate you know not the houi its stren to t 
will be exhausted, and many times the result will be loss of crops. 
For field culture set in rows 3 or 3% feet apart, 15 to is in. in 
rows ; for garden 15 in. apart each way, leaving pathway every third 
row. To produce fine, large fruit, keep in hills, pinching runners off 
as soon as they appear. The ground should always be kept clean 
and well cultivated. In winter a covering of leaves, straw or some 
kind of litter will protect the plants. Do not cover them until ground 
is frozen, or so deep as to smother the plants, and remove covering 
before growth starts in spring. Mulching will keep the fruit clean 
and the soil in good condition through the fruiting season. 
PERFECT AND IMPERFECT BLOSSOMS.— Strawberries are all 
perfect or imperfect, or in other words, male and female. 1 hose 
marked (P) are imperfect and destitute of stamens, and must be 
planted so that they can be fertilized with perfect-flowering varieties, every three, four or hve rows, 
way to make the fertilization perfect is to set two varieties between— one early and one late , this will a<l 
crop and size of fruit.
